Suggest Remedy For On And Off Laryngitis, Cough With Thick Green Mucus
I have had laryngitis on and off for several weeks but over the weekend I developed a cough that is now producing thick green mucus. I am on pain relievers for chronic back pain and they include acetaminophen so it s hard to tell if I have a fever . Any ideas?

Hi, younhave chronic laryngitis.
Chronic laryngitis needs complete voice rest, steam inhalation 2 to 3 times per day.
One course of antibiotics, mucolytic and a short course of steroids are recommended.
All these are prescription meficine so you have to consult doctor and take it.
Pkease check your temperature in thermometer and see if you have fever without taking pain killer tablet at least one dose. If you have fever then continue medicine till it reduces.
